近年來，民勤縣認真踐行新發展理念，立足縣域獨特資源優勢，成功舉辦了三屆中國•民勤沙漠雕塑國際創作營活動，來自全球33個國家和地區雕塑藝術家的102件沙漠雕塑作品落地大漠，如一顆顆璀璨的明珠，向世界展現著其無與倫比的雕塑藝術魅力、沙漠的浩瀚壯觀以及民勤防沙治沙的深厚文化蘊涵。
為進一步展示民勤獨特的生態文化旅遊資源，傳播綠色環保、人沙和諧共生理念，詮釋「中國最美的大地藝術-民勤，世界最美的藝術大地-民勤」，助推民勤全面融入「一帶一路」建設，不斷提升文化軟實力和影響力，構建河西走廊「西有敦煌·東有民勤」的藝術新格局，民勤縣擬舉辦2021中國•民勤第四屆沙漠雕塑國際創作營，本次活動以「絲路駝聲」為主題，現面向全球具有雕塑創作能力的專業藝術工作者徵集優秀公共藝術作品方案。
活動具體信息如下：
駱駝，作為絲綢之路的交通符號和運輸標誌，不僅僅是運輸工具，更象徵著任勞任怨、堅韌不拔、久久為功的精神，為絲綢之路的繁榮和經濟發展作出重大的貢獻。
民勤駝隊在絲綢之路有「大幫駝鈴走天下」之美譽，民勤駝道四通八達，東至京津，北至庫倫、莫斯科，西至西藏、新疆伊犁、西亞，南至河南等地。關於民勤駝隊的故事流傳在武威、張掖、酒泉等河西地區，新疆的哈密、昌吉地區，內蒙古的阿拉善、河套地區，以及青海、寧夏一帶。馬家駝隊、皇駝、駱駝神卦女、大俠任毛頭、民勤駝鏢等傳說記載和反映了民勤駝隊在絲綢之路走南闖北的艱辛歷程，記錄了他們為國家穩定、民族團結、抗日戰爭和文化交流作出的重要貢獻，也對於研究絲綢之路、東西經濟文化交流、南北民族融合以及民族、民俗學有著重要的價值。
遙望歷史長河，耳畔駝鈴陣陣，大漠孤煙中駝隊迤邐而出。「塞沙茫茫出關道，駱駝夜吼黃雲老。」「無數鈴聲搖過磧,應馱白練到安西。」「氈包席裹可立致，十鼓只載數駱駝。」唐詩宋詞中的駱駝的詩性意象影影綽綽。撫今追昔，繼往開來，中國•民勤第四屆沙漠雕塑國際創作營在延續前三屆沙漠藝術活動的基礎上，以「絲路駝聲」為主題，以駱駝及駝隊精神相關的元素為基礎意象，徵集國內外優秀公共藝術作品，從而續寫與謳歌堅韌、開拓、擔當的絲路精神，展現新時代創新發展的絲路理念。
